Watch: Ravichandran Ashwin explodes in anger after LBW dismissal in TNPL match – smashes pad with bat, throws gloves in rare outburst. The viral video goes viral.
Ashwin’s Fiery Outburst Steals Spotlight in TNPL Match
India’s recognized one of the best spinners, Ravindra Jadeja, made cricket fans’ jaws drop as he became hysterical in a Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) game between Dindigul Dragons and iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans. After being controversially adjudged LBW, the dramatic moment occurred and Ashwin showed emotions that one has not seen from a veteran cricketer.
Controversial LBW Sparks Ashwin’s Anger
With 18 off 10, including two fours and a six, Ashwin (leading the Dragons and going for the first delivery himself) appeared to be getting comfortable with the ball. However, in the fifth over, while attacking with the bat against spinner R Sai Kifrom Shore, trying to paddle drive, the ball hit his pads. Without even looking at the bat, Umpire Venkatesan Krithika raised her finger. Ashwini was running a single in the third ball and looked set to be safe to us.
Replay Reveals Shocking Truth – No DRS Left
The anger grew when the runout replay showed the ball had pitched outside leg stump – under normal reviewing terms, one that would have been reviewed and replaced. Tragically, Ashwin and Shivam Singh (TNPL debutant DRS rule in a first over wide ball on a leg-side) had already consumed their quota thanks to a new rule. In the absence of any further review, Ashwin had to bowl back.
Ashwin’s Meltdown Caught on Camera
What followed next floored everyone. Ashwin angrily confronted the umpire and walked off in a huff visibly pissed. He smashed his bat onto the leg stump out of frustration and tossed his gloves, almost over the boundary line. A video of the incident became a hit on social media, eliciting various reactions from fans and experts.
Match Ends in Huge Loss, Behaviour Under Scrutiny
The Dragons, of course, lose that one by a massive nine-wicket defeat. Ashwin’s ire might be based on the borderline call but many asked if such behaviour befitting for such a player. TNPL is yet to announce any punishment, report from match referee Arjan Kripal Singh is awaited as of now.
